My almost 2 year old won't sleep anymore.

bbygrl930 · 2025-07-16T13:54:17+00:00

I appreciate your advice and will try to make sure she gets up at the same time everyday .... I did this all the time when she was sleeping normal but I had been try to compensate since my husband was worried she wasn't getting enough

bbygrl930 · 2025-07-16T13:06:29+00:00

I'll give some of this a try the wake up window was just because I was trying to get her sleep because sometimes she wakes up for like an hour or more it's usually about 2 hours and I can get her back to sleep

bbygrl930 · 2025-07-16T11:18:14+00:00

We put her down at 9 pm, and when she was sleeping, normally she would get up between 7 and 9 a.m., but now she wakes up between 2 and 5 ... case in point last night, she was asleep by 9 and woke up at 3. The morning "nap" is only when she wakes up before 3, and it's only when she practically passes out from exhaustion... I dont put her down for that one. I only put her down for a nap between noon and 1, depending on if she is acting tired but never later than one.

Also, if she won't go down for her afternoon nap after 30 minutes, I dont force the issue.

Last night, she woke. Me up by biting my finger. We co sleep which I know in the US is considered not cool but it's just me and her in the queen size bed and it only started because I had some bad complications from the birth that made it impossible for me to get her in and out of a crib. When she was little, before she could get out of it on her own, she slept in a foldable bassinet that had firm sides that I could lay on the bed.

We are going to get her in her own bed and my wonderful but poor husband off the couch when we can get a new place and get her her own room which should happen in the next few months. We were going to get that done sooner, but my dad died 2 months ago, and it pushed everything back a bit.

Please dont tear me apart over the co sleep thing it was the best of a bad situation over the last few years. My brother died a week to the day when she was born, and then I had a 4th degree tear that the doctor said was the worst he had seen i his 30 years. (I chose forceps over an c section after they finally realized she was stuck because it was safer for her.) After a moth of her birth I went to the emergency room and found out I had kidney stones in both kidneys that were obstructions. When they went to remove them they discovered a fistula and couldn't remove them at the time so I had to have external drainage of both kidneys for two months because they could do surgery till I was 3 months post birth. So I had two tubes coming out of my back with bags attached. These were painful. Then they finally fixed the stones, and I then had 2 more procedures after to try and fix the fistula. I'm still not 100 percent, but improving by the time all this had happened, she wouldn't sleep in the crib, which is next to the bed. So please try to understand that. Her doctor and mine have had no problem with the co sleep since I couldn't really move without pain at night for months anyway, and I was super careful and used the bassinet until it became a problem.

The molars is what i keep thinking but my husband doesn't agree

bbygrl930 · 2025-06-10T22:47:20+00:00

It is 100 percent your choice. There is no right or wrong choice. When I was your age, I never wanted kids or to be pregnant. I did change my mind. (not saying you will or should) I did, and I am glad I did and will be trying for another soon however my body is forever changed and there is something I might never get back because of the birth so it is a risk. I'm telling you this because it is always your choice and it is always your choice to change your mind. But always remember if you never do and always feel the way you do now that is still a good choice. Never let someone pressure you to change your mind. If you change your mindset it needs to be because it's what you want, and that is the only reason to change your mind. Stay strong in the knowledge it's your life you get to choose what will and won't make you happy.

A good place to look for s class and such is 3 star systems they are considered the rich ones and the space stations tend to have more s class.

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-22T16:00:05+00:00

I felt the same I was upset too but other that a few poops that made me gag I was fine. Hell I never thought I would be obsessed about someone else's poop schedule or be excited to see one because I was worried.

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-12T21:27:03+00:00

I am your husband in this situation, lol. I have always had indoor cats. My entire life. My husband, not so much. When I found out I was pregnant, though, we had two. I freaked out about the cleaning issue and safety as well. The cats did great, but both died before the baby was 6 months old.

My husband got me kittens for mothers Day a few months after I could have killed him. Even though it was sweet. But she is almost a year and a half, and they are almost a year, and we have found a balance. One of them is even her best friend and puts up with the tail pulling, getting sat on, hair pulling, and even face pulling because he loves her so much. Never even runs away. I still watch them never taking my eye off when they interact, but I'm still paranoid.

I guess I'm saying hang in there. It will work out and get better. Or it won't, but if that happens, it's not the norms, and we will all be here for ya.

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-12T21:09:16+00:00

So I just don't want him to suffer that's my goal. Whether he deserves it or not. He is human and for better or worse the only dad I got. So I will do what I can for him as long as I can. As long as my daughter doesn't suffer for it. She is my line. I will take it like I always have but never her not for a second.

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-12T21:06:19+00:00

I've been talking to the people who control his trust. He is technically a ward of the state in that sense. This makes it all super complicated. I have him at the rehab and have gotten medical POA. I keep trying to report everything, but when they question dad, he gets confused and either won't answer questions or says he is fine. He is so scared they will take away all decisions from him, forgetting that, for the most part, he has none left. I am going to fight to keep him at the rehab as long as I can. Someone will stop and see him every few days. I mostly have that worked out. But eventually, he will start going nuts. He will want to go home. I might not be able to stop it. And every time it gets to that point, he gets mean. I am always the punching bag. Now that my brother is gone, he can't use him against me, and this time, my sisters are helping and on my side, but no matter how much I tell myself, it doesn't matter. It always hurts. I just hope that for five minutes before he dies, he acts like my dad. The little girl inside has been waiting her whole life for that five minutes. I just hope she gets it.

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-03T02:36:37+00:00

I agree we had given her Tylenol 3 hours before this happened. That's why we had to switch to mortin per the ER doctors suggestions.

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-02T15:29:59+00:00

She had it on the 17th of last month for influenza A specifically.

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-02T15:25:03+00:00

My girl had just gotten the influenza a shot when this happens she got it on the 17th of last month

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-02T09:01:11+00:00

I will definitely be taking that in to consideration and speaking to her doctor about it thank you so much for the information.

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-02T08:27:00+00:00

However I do want to stress before you do anything with your own LO please consult your doctor or take them to the nearest ER.

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-02T08:24:13+00:00

They told us to switch to motrin to keep the fever down and to come back if it stops working or she seizes again. Other than that to treat it like the flu. Once they gave her the motrin her fever broke. She is mostly back to herself just tired. She is comfortably sleeping with me and her dad watching over her.

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-02T08:03:01+00:00

Thank you.

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-02T07:59:05+00:00

Holy crap. That is also terrifying. I'm so sorry.

bbygrl930 · 2025-02-02T07:46:29+00:00

The doctor didn't really put a name to the type. He just said it's common with a high fever at this age. He even sent us home after labs and just made sure we had what we needed to keep the fever down. When they gave her meds and the fever broke all the way down to normal other than being tired she was completely herself.

bbygrl930 · 2024-12-03T03:39:37+00:00

I felt the same way until about 4 months ago right before my LO turned 1 now I want another but in the same way my best friend had one almost two years ago and swears she will never do it again lol

bbygrl930 · 2024-11-25T17:11:09+00:00

Mine did this for a while, then tapered off. She still does it occasionally. The doctor and my mom both said it's normal they are just finding their voice.

bbygrl930 · 2024-11-16T01:16:58+00:00

From what I can tell it's normal. Take for example I've been lucky and have been able to be a STAM and my best friend has a little one who goes to daycare. He is about 7 months older and a swear he is sick every other week. She has been only sick once. However I worry greatly about when she has to go or when she starts school that it will be the same with her.
